Dealing with MHP managers

[Steven J.]

As I'm starting out with my mobile home investing venture right now I've run into what seems like a standard problem.

Well, first of all I'm finding out managers of parks don't necessarily understand investing. I've asked about comps a few times and I'm usually met with a confused look and a manager who doesn't know what homes are selling for.

My biggest problem is with the 55+ parks in the area. I'm just about to turn 25 so I'm a strange visitor in these parks and I'm immediately written off as some young chap looking to buy for his grandfather or just completely confused.

Are there suggestions out there as to how I can come across as a serious buyer?
